It starts with the hypothesis that risks are important determinants o f poverty, and understanding how they are managed permits us to assess the prospects and strategies for poverty reduction and sustainable development in the future. The review focuses on the most common risks that affect individuals or communities. The report is organized as follows. The first two chapters summarize the report's approach and the effectiveness of social risk management strategies. Chapter 3 provides the context to the rest of the report by tracing recent developments in Ethiopia; providing a quick overview of the evolution of consumption and non-consumption measures of welfare; and extending these measures, especially the standard consumption poverty measure, to include the notion of vulnerability and providing a head count o f the vulnerable. Chapter 4 looks briefly at a few core risks that are perceived and experienced as compelling in the country. Chapter 5 discusses how these risks are managed by households (informal insurance) via markets and by the public sector, and assesses the effectiveness of these strategies. It also provides an estimate of welfare losses from inadequate management of risks. Chapter 6 provides an outline of a social protection strategy to help households better manage risks. Chapter 7 concludes with lessons learned and next steps. 2012-06-21T19:19:09Z 2012-06-21T19:19:09Z 2005-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/08/6272492/ethiopia-risk-vulnerability-assessment http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8693 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Risk and Vulnerability Assessment Economic & Sector Work Africa East Africa Sub-Saharan Africa Ethiopia
